Abstract
A realistic appearing camouflage hunting blind that incorporates a photographic image of a hunting location. The visual appearance of the hunting blind mimics the actual environment so that from a distance, the hunting blind blends into the environment and is virtually undetectable. A photograph of an actual hunting location, like a Wisconsin forest, is taken and uploaded to a computer. The photograph is edited and printed onto substrate materials. The substrate materials are assembled to form a completed hunting blind.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1. A camouflage hunting system comprising:
a. a camouflage blind being disposed in an environment having an environmental scene;
b. the camouflage blind comprising a substrate material having a photographic image of the environmental scene, wherein the photographic image on the substrate material provides substantial visual continuity with the environmental scene to substantially match and reflect the environment; and
c. a support for supporting the substrate material of the blind in the environment.
2. The camouflage hunting system of claim 1 wherein the photographic image is an exact photographic image of the environmental scene.
3. The camouflage hunting system of claim 1 wherein the photographic image is a stock photographic image.
4. The camouflage hunting system of claim 1 further comprising an aperture in the substrate material through which a user can observe.
